They sure as hell should have better pricing ( Zenfolio charges like $60/year for unlimited image hosting AND you can make an actual website for example). I'm not defending Photobucket, they could have and should have gone about this change in a much more up-front and open manner. What people are failing to realize is that you get what you pay for (or in this case, don't pay for). I get why people are upset they feel like their images are THEIR images and, by disabling the links to those images, Photobucket has stolen from them.

What everyone should really take away from this is the inherent danger that comes with relying on a free service for anything in your life, let alone for things you need to conduct your business.

Some people are even going so far as to call Photobucket's new policy 'ransomware' (spoiler alert: it's not) and claiming that the image hosting company's policy change is illegal (second spoiler alert: also not). There's plenty to be upset about here: the somewhat ridiculous price Photobucket is charging for their hosting service, the complete lack of communication to users who have relied on the service for years, the fact that migrating to a different service is a huge pain that won't fix all of your links. Thanks for messing up my #blog, no pre warning or communication! Excellent work! 😡😡😡 #photobucket /IsNc28tfsk- Nonsinthetik July 4, 2017
